Director Stephen Soderberg in July will begin filming the film "Thirteen friends of Ocean." The main roles in the new picture, as in the previous two “eleven friends of Ocean” (2001) and “Twelve friends of Ocean” (2004), will play George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon. This was announced the day before by the Warner Brothers studio. The film will be released in the summer of 2007, reports Ar.

The remaining participants in the previous films will also be shot in the new picture - the participation of such actors as Don Chidl, Bernie Mack, Karl Rainer, Elliot Gold are confirmed. The thirteenth in a friendly company of witty robbers will be Ellen Barkin.

In the new film, viewers will not see Julia Roberts, who took part in the two previous paintings. No role is provided for Katherine Zeta-Jones. The producer of the painting Jerry Wayntraub explained this decision by the fact that the script of the new picture would not allow to sufficiently show his skill to these two actresses.
